That's the question...  |
It goes to cover the cost. This has already been stated. Profit is the income over the initial cost of researching, producing, storing, and transporting the product. What is left is about 9.2 cents a gallon. That's what the oil companies make. The state governments average in the mid-.20's and the federal government is something like 18 cents. So, per gallon, the government is making much more profit than the oil companies. Where do you think the trillions of dollars our government wastes comes from?
